Short-Term Spending Bill Passed By Congress, Heads To Trump's Desk

The transcript discusses the approval of a continuing resolution by the Senate and House to extend government funding through December 20th. This measure includes a military pay raise, health care program extensions, and census funding. The main obstacle to a full-year spending bill is President Trump's demand for $8.6 billion for a US-Mexico border wall. The resolution provides more time for lawmakers to negotiate the 12 necessary appropriation bills. If not signed by President Trump by midnight, a government shutdown could occur.
